III.I QBox Location
Locate the QBox during the system design process to ensure optimal placement and compliance to permit
requirements. The QBox can be installed at any convenient location on the roof since it is designed for direct
securement to the roof’s sheathing. It is acceptable to install the QBox under a PV module as long as the maximum
rated ambient temperature of the QBox will not be exceeded. To service the PV system, it is important to have access
to the QBox aer the installation. When installing the QBox under a module, consider placing it under the last module
in a string or under a module that is easy to li out of position for access.
III. Installation Overview
The QBox utilizes a patented waterproof pass-through for ¾" EMT to run system wires through the roof into the attic.
If you run your wires through the attic, place the QBox in an optimal location for access when working inside the attic
space.
WARNING: These products are NOT designed for and should NOT be used to anchor fall protection equipment.
DO NOT place QBox directly over a raer
WARNING
If modules are required to be removed or lied during QBox servicing, ensure the system is
designed such that the removal of the module will not disturbed or break the system ground
path. In addition, ensure the lied module maintains its ground during servicing. Failure to
follow these instructions could produce a shock hazard leading to personal injury or death.
NOTES
Do not install the QBox
directly over a raer such
that the raer interferes
with the conduit coming
down from the QBox.
Installing the QBox into the
sheathing does not require
a pilot hole. However, if an
attachment screw for the
QBox is to be installed into
a raer, a 7/32" pilot hole is
required.
